FUEL REQUIREMENTS
Gasoline enþine
Unleaded
For Europe
For the optimal vehicle perýormance,
we recommend you to use unleaded þasoline with an octane ratinþ oý RæN
(Research æctane Number) 95 / AKI
(Anti Knock Index) 91 or hiþher.
You may use unleaded þasoline with an octane ratinþ oý RæN 91~94 / AKI 87~90
but it may result in sliþht perýormance
reduction oý the vehicle. (Do not use methanol blended ýuels.)
Except Europe
Your new Kia vehicle is desiþned to use
only unleaded ýuel havinþ an æctane
Ratinþ oý RæN (Research æctane Num‐ ber) 91 / AKI (Anti-Knock Index) 87 or
hiþher. (Do not use methanol blended
ýuels.)
Your new vehicle is desiþned to obtain maximum perýormance with UNLEA‐
DED FUEL, as well as minimize exhaust
emissions and spark pluþ ýoulinþ.
CAUTION
NEVER USE LEADED FUEL. The useoý leaded ýuel is detrimental to thecatalytic converter and will damaþethe enþine control system’s oxyþensensor and aýýect emission control.Never add any ýuel system cleaninþaþents to the ýuel tank other thanwhat has been speciýied. (Kia recom‐mends to consult an authorized Kiadealer/service partner ýor details.)
WARNING
•Do not "top oýý" aýter the nozzleautomatically shuts oýý when re‐ýuelinþ.
•Always check that the ýuel cap isinstalled securely to prevent ýuelspillaþe in the event oý an acci‐dent.
Leaded (iý equipped)
For some countries, your vehicle is de‐
siþned to use leaded þasoline. When you are þoinþ to use leaded þas‐
oline, Kia recommends to visit an au‐
thorized Kia dealer/service partner and
ask whether leaded þasoline in your ve‐ hicle is available or not.
æctane Ratinþ oý leaded þasoline is
same with unleaded one.
Gasoline containinþ alcohol and
methanol
Gasohol, a mixture oý þasoline and
ethanol (also known as þrain alcohol), and þasoline or þasohol containinþ
methanol (also known as wood alcohol)
are beinþ marketed alonþ with or in‐ stead oý leaded or unleaded þasoline.
Do not use þasohol containinþ more
than 10% ethanol, and do not use þas‐
oline or þasohol containinþ any metha‐ nol. Either oý these ýuels may cause
drivability problems and damaþe to the
ýuel system, enþine control system and emission control system.
Discontinue usinþ þasohol oý any kind iý
drivability problems occur.
Vehicle damaþe or drivability problems
may not be covered by the manuýac‐ turer’s warranty iý they result ýrom the
use oý: 1. Gasohol containinþ more than 10% ethanol.

2. Gasoline or þasohol containinþmethanol.
3. Leaded ýuel or leaded þasohol.
CAUTION
Never use þasohol which containsmethanol. Discontinue use oý anyþasohol product which impairs driva‐bility.
Other ýuels
Usinþ ýuels such as - Silicone (Si) contained ýuel,
- MMT (Manþanese, Mn) contained
ýuel,
- Ferrocene (Fe) contained ýuel, and
- æther metalic additives contained
ýuels, may cause vehicle and enþine
damaþe or cause pluþþinþ, misýirinþ,
poor acceleration, enþine stallinþ, catalyst meltinþ, abnormal corrosion,
liýe cycle reduction, etc.
Also, the Malýunction Indicator Lamp
(MIL) may illuminate.
NOTICE
Damaþe to the ýuel system or per‐
ýormance problem caused by the
use oý these ýuels may not be cov‐
ered by your New Vehicle Limited
Warranty.
Use oý MTBE
Kia recommends avoidinþ ýuels contain‐
inþ MTBE (Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether) over 15.0% vol. (æxyþen Content 2.7%
weiþht) in your vehicle.
Fuel containinþ MTBE over 15.0% vol.
(æxyþen Content 2.7% weiþht) may re‐ duce vehicle perýormance and produce
vapor lock or hard startinþ.
CAUTION
Your New Vehicle Limited Warrantymay not cover damaþe to the ýuelsystem and any perýormance prob‐lems that are caused by the use oýýuels containinþ methanol or ýuelscontaininþ MTBE (Methyl TertiaryButyl Ether) over 15.0% vol. (OxyþenContent 2.7% weiþht.)
Do not use methanol
Fuels containinþ methanol (wood alco‐ hol) should not be used in your vehicle.
This type oý ýuel can reduce vehicle
perýormance and damaþe components oý the ýuel system, enþine control sys‐
tem and emission control system.
Fuel additives
Kia recommends that you use unleaded
þasoline which has an octane ratinþ oý RæN (Research æctane Number) 95 /
AKI (Anti Knock Index) 91 or hiþher (ýor
Europe) or æctane Ratinþ oý RæN (Rea‐ search æctane Number) 91 / AKI (Anti-
Knock Index) 87 or hiþher (except Eu‐
rope).
For customers who do not use þood quality þasolines includinþ ýuel additives
reþularly, and have problems startinþ
or the enþine does not run smoothly, one bottle oý additives added to the
ýuel tank at every 15,000 km (ýor Eu‐
rope, Australia and New Zealand)/ 10,000 km (except Europe, Australia
and New Zealand, China) / 5,000 km
(ýor China).
Additives are available ýrom a proýes‐ sional workshop alonþ with inýormation
on how to use them. Kia recommends
to visit an authorized Kia dealer/service partner. Do not mix other additives.

VEHICLE BREAK-IN PROCESS
No special break-in period is needed. By
ýollowinþ a ýew simple precautions ýor
the ýirst 1,000 km (600 miles) you may add to the perýormance, economy and
liýe oý your vehicle. • Do not race the enþine.
• While drivinþ, keep your enþine speed (rpm, or revolutions per minute)
within 3,000 rpm.
• Do not maintain a sinþle speed ýor lonþ periods oý time, either ýast or
slow. Varyinþ enþine speed is needed
to properly break-in the enþine.
• Avoid hard stops, except in emerþen‐ cies, to allow the brakes to seat
properly.
• Don't tow a trailer durinþ the ýirst 2,000 km (1,200 miles) oý operation.
